HMRC Thursday: Pole vaulter, 1962

I don’t know who this is but I do know that a Post photographer took this lovely sequence of images at a track meet in the old stadium on March 2nd, 1962. I think they’re all good. I’ve tried to put them in the right order but honestly I’m not at all confident that I’ve got it right:

One of my colleagues in the HMRC pointed out to me today that my life would be easier of I gave the citation for each image. That way, if someone wants a copy they know what to ask for and more importantly they can ask the archives instead of me. The only explanation I have for why I never thought of that is that I’m so focused on the content I’ve totally failed to think about consequences. Ah well, nobody’s perfect. And the citation for these pictures is RGD0006N-1962-6036.

Bonus: And now for something completely different.
